It sounds low to me, but I found this site & $350 per week for an entry level nanny is common:

What is the "Typical Salary" for a Nanny?

NannyNetwork.com consulted with Kathy Webb, President HomeWork Solutions, Inc., a leading payroll and tax service geared to nanny and other domestic employers. She advises "The first rule is that there is no established standard when it comes to nanny salaries. Wages vary by geography, hours, experience and education of the nanny and local nanny placement agencies are the best resource for local job conditions. The nanny shortages of the late '90's and the resultant salary inflation have largely abated. With that said, an entry-level live-in nanny will expect a minimum of $350 gross per week for a HS grad (18-20 yrs.) with no previous nanny experience. Remember minimum wage rules apply. Live-in wages can range to $800 a week gross and sometimes higher for college graduates and the professional, experienced nanny. Recognizing the key role geography plays in live-out wages, a nanny will command $9-$12/hr. in less costly areas, upwards to $18-20/hour in major metro markets. Experienced caregivers for infants and for more than two children generally command a premium." A nanny employed on a full time basis expects to be paid her contracted weekly salary for 52 weeks per year, even if the family does not require her services during vacations, holidays, etc.
